This new single is a cover of the classic song from Simple Minds. The tune still holds up well, and this is a well done performance. My only issue is whether there is a point to this. I guess it's one of his favorite songs, and perhaps he sees it as paying tribute. To me, if you are going to cover a song (unless you are a tribute act) you really need to make it your own. If you just recreate the original what is the point? I mean, the original still exists, so why does anyone need your version? You might have a different opinion about that idea, so your mileage may definitely vary here. For me, this is done incredibly well. I'm just not sure why it was done at all. It's just too similar to the recording to which it's paying tribute.
